Yue Weiyang drank and sang happily. Tonight, several distinguished guests came to the Shui Mansion. They were Shui Yunheng's business partners over the years and the general manager of the shop. Because they had to inform Meng Qiuhe in advance, she was also very concerned. Not only did she
A sumptuous banquet was held, and Shui Yunheng was extremely satisfied with his elegant and dignified speech and behavior. Even several distinguished guests praised Shui Yunheng for having a virtuous and good wife, but did not mention a word about Aunt Liu.
I know how to measure things.
Although Aunt Liu's matter did not spread to the whole city, it was no longer a secret in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Liu Ruomei returned to her parents' home and had a private conversation with the Prime Minister's wife in her room, the aunt in the mansion overheard it and hinted to her maids.
The mother-in-law secretly leaked the matter to Prime Minister Liu. Although he was very angry with Shui Yunheng for not taking his father-in-law seriously, Aunt Liu's actions made him even more disappointed. The mother-in-law of a family did not consider her children.
, I tend to think of some crooked ways.
This matter was suppressed by Prime Minister Liu. For fear of affecting the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he did not send anyone to the Shui Mansion to inquire about the matter and just pretended that he did not know anything.
After three rounds of drinking, the night was getting thicker, the front hall was still drinking and conversing, but the inner house was extremely quiet, with a few servants on night watch occasionally passing by.
Suddenly, two black figures flashed out of Lanxiang Pavilion and ran out of the house over the wall without stopping.[
The capital is quite lively at night. In the summer, small merchants and hawkers are constantly selling, always trying to make a fortune before closing their stalls. Another scenic spot in the capital is the southwest corner.
This is the gathering place for all the brothels. In the flower streets and willow alleys, the strong smell of rouge is very pungent. In front of each brothel, women of all colors are dressed up and enchanting, attracting customers on the street. The sounds of warblers and swallows are heard.
Women's coquettishness and men's frivolous words can be heard everywhere.
Shui Lianyue and the two had already changed their clothes. Shui Lianyue was pretending to be the eldest young master, while Hongying was pretending to be a young boy. The two of them walked quickly through the alley, and in a blink of an eye, they came to a deserted and depressed house.
forward.
On the damaged and dilapidated plaque, the word "Yang Zhai" can still be vaguely seen. At this time, the door is closed, which is completely different from the brothels outside that open their doors for business. This is the place of secret prostitution.
Following the code given by the old nanny, Hongying knocked on the door on the left three times and the door on the right three times. After a while, the door opened and an old man in extremely simple clothes walked out. He squinted.
Looking at Shui Lianyue and Hongying, the light emanating from those small eyes made Shui Lianyue feel very uncomfortable all over.
"Uncle Yang, this is my eldest son," Hongying introduced Shui Lianyue to the old man with a familiar face. There was not the slightest hint of timidity in her eyebrows, and she looked like a veteran here.
Uncle Yang nodded and said in a hoarse but low voice: "Come in." As soon as he finished speaking, he opened half the door and waved his hand for the two of them to hurry in.
Tonight there was a bright moon in the sky, dotted with stars, and there were no candles lit in the yard. Shui Lianyue had to rely on the soft moonlight to see the road under her feet.
From the outside, it looks like no one has lived here for a long time. Everything is dusty and mottled. Some rockery rocks in the yard are scattered all over the ground. Weeds are overgrown. There are also mice running around and making squeaking sounds.
Voice.
Shui Lianyue's expression was indifferent and extremely calm, with a faint chill emanating from her whole body. While showing her nobility, she also showed her majesty. This gave Uncle Yang, who was leading the way, some confidence in his heart. It seemed that this deal had been completed for six months.
Certainty of success.
Sex prostitutes are different from brothels. They do business with an open door. The background is reliable. If you like the girl, you can spend money to get her. However, sex prostitution is different. It is very wretched. Only low-class people work as sex prostitutes. Most of them are old and yellow.
, the money they earn is naturally very little, and their main source of livelihood is human trafficking, which is often called human teeth.
Although human trafficking is very common, it is a shameful business after all, and the government has express regulations, so naturally it cannot be done openly.
It is said that Uncle Yang led the two of them into a two-story attic. The room was extremely dirty and messy. Uncle Yang came to a wall and knocked on the wall with his hand. There was only a "swish" sound, and the water came out.
There was actually a secret passage in front of Lianyue and the others, leading straight down.
Uncle Yang waved towards the two of them, signaling them to go down. Shui Lianyue frowned slightly, looked at Uncle Yang indifferently, then bent down and walked down.
The basement is divided into three rooms, each hung with dark curtains. Just as Shui Lianyue was observing carefully, two fierce-looking strong men walked out of the room in the center, holding long sticks in their hands. When they saw Yang
The uncle led the people over, pointed to the house on the left, and then entered the house again.
Uncle Yang turned around and smiled, but in Shui Lianyue's eyes, that smile was extremely vulgar. Hongying on the side took out a banknote from her arms and handed it over before Uncle Yang could say anything, saying: "My family
The young master must first look at the person."
Uncle Yang took the banknote without thinking, but was stunned for a moment. Then he put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I agree that I'm here to pick up the goods? Why do you need to see the person first?"
Shui Lianyue glanced at Uncle Yang and said coldly: "What? Uncle Yang is not feeling guilty?"
Uncle Yang's expression changed, and a hint of malice flashed through the slits in his eyes. He snorted coldly and said: "Although shady business is not on the market, it pays more attention to credit than those businesses that are on the market. If the young master insists on a priori
If you want to buy the goods, you still need to pay an additional one hundred taels."[
Shui Lianyue's phoenix eyes suddenly shot out two gleams of cold light, mixed with strong disdain, which made Uncle Yang tremble. This kind of business pays attention to credit? What a fart! "I will give you two hundred taels, and I will buy one by the way."
Girl".
"Okay, okay, no problem, you can choose whatever you want." After hearing Shui Lianyue's words, Uncle Yang felt relieved and didn't feel embarrassed anymore.
Although he knew that the young master in front of him was not an ordinary person, he, Uncle Yang, was also a master who had experienced many situations where white knives came in and red knives came out. However, in front of this young master, he always felt cold and cold on his back.
